Migrating a website from Jekyll to...
Published on February 11, 2023
I have stuffed so much into my website over the years it was starting to creak at the seams. For most of its life, at least the life I can remember, I used Jekyll. When the life of this website began, Jekyll was still fairly new and my mind was blown by static site generators (I probably migrated from Drupal, which was my thing back in the early 2000s). When I reworked it a couple of years ago, I considered other options but ended up settling back to what I already knew well.
In honesty, Jekyll still works fine for my needs, but a combination of Apple Silicon breaking my ageing custom gems and wanting an excuse to try the wave of new “cool” content frameworks, I thought it was time to overhaul.
